When actress Alma Moreno filed her certificate of candidacy for senator on the third day of filing, many were left dumbfounded by her move.

FYI, Loveliness' (or Ness, her nickname in the '80s) political credentials include being a Parañaque City councilor in 2007 and 2010, aside from an unsuccessful 2004 mayoral bid. So her big leap was, safe to say, quite mind-boggling unexpected. This despite Moreno initially expressing an intention to run for the same position in 2012, if not for a lingering illness.

Perhaps to convince the public that she is very much sincere and qualified for one of the country's top local posts, Moreno, who is under Vice President Jejomar Binay's 2016 Senate lineup, appeared on ANC's Headstart last November 11, hosted by journalist Karen Davila, for a live interview.
